4. POLICY. It is DoD policy in accordance with Reference (b) that:

a. Members of the U.S. Armed Forces serving with the DoD Components shall, through the DoD Military Awards Program, receive tangible recognition for acts of valor, acts of heroism, and exceptional service or achievement. This includes award of DoD CE&S medals. Eligibility for CE&S medals differs from personal performance awards in that Service members are not recommended for DoD CE&S medals, but are eligible for awards based on service record verification that they met the eligibility requirements specified in this Volume. Requests for determination of eligibility for DoD CE&S medals must be processed through each current or former Service member's respective Military Department.

b. Only one decoration is awarded for the same act, achievement, or period of service for any individual or unit. However, an award for individual valor, heroism, or specific achievement within a longer period of meritorious service is not considered duplication, provided the citation for the meritorious service or the accompanying documentation justifying the award do not cite any of the actions for which the valorous or specific achievement award was given. The fact that a Service member receives a DoD CE&S medal, or a unit award, does not limit the awarding of personal performance decorations during that same period.

5. RESPONSIBILITIES. See Enclosure 2.

6. PROCEDURES. See Enclosure 3.

7. RELEASABILITY. UNLIMITED. This Volume is approved for public release and is available on the Internet from the DoD Issuances Website at .

8. EFFECTIVE DATE. This Volume is effective immediately.
